We survey the relationship between the combinatorics and geometry of graphs and the algebraic structure of right-angled Artin groups. We concentrate on the defining graph of the right-angled Artin group and on the extension graph associated…
A short survey about combinatorics on words and algorithmic methods in a ring. Special attention is given to Shirshov's results. Adopted for undegraduate students.
We give an alternative, combinatorial/geometrical evaluation of a class of improper sinc integrals studied by the Borweins. A probabilistic interpretation is also noted and used to shed light on a related combinatorial identity.
This paper is primarily intended as an introduction for the mathematically inclined to some of the rich algebraic combinatorics arising in for instance CFT. It is essentially self-contained, apart from some of the background motivation and…
We consider a general concept of composition and decomposition of objects, and discuss a few natural properties one may expect from a reasonable choice thereof. It will be demonstrated how this leads to multiplication and co- multiplication…
A partly autobiographical survey of the development of enumerative and algebraic combinatorics in the 1960's and 1970's.
The aim of this article is to give a survey of combination theorems occurring in hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory and complex dynamics, with a particular focus on Thurston's contribution and influence in the field.
These notes are dedicated to whom may be interested in algorithms, Markov chain, coupling, and graph theory etc. I present some preliminaries on coupling and explanations of the important formulas or phrases, which may be helpful for us to…
We will try to sketch Professor F. Y. Wu's contributions in lattice statistical mechanics, solid state physics, graph theory, enumerative combinatorics and so many other domains of physics and mathematics. We will recall F. Y. Wu's most…
We discuss algebraic and combinatorial aspects of the Hamiltonian normal form theory. The main objective is to describe the normal form near a singular point purely in terms of the original Hamiltonian, avoiding the normalization procedure.…
A categorized bibliography of combinators is given, providing what is believed to be a largely complete coverage of publications from the origination of combinators in 1920 to the present day.
The study of combinatorial properties of mathematical objects is a very important research field and continued fractions have been deeply studied in this sense. However, multidimensional continued fractions, which are a generalization…
I provide a very brief sketch of some of Dirac's interests and work in gravity, particularly his Hamiltonian formulation of Einstein's theory and its relation to his earlier research.
This is a chapter in an incoming book on aperiodic order. We review results about the topology, the dynamics, and the combinatorics of aperiodically ordered tilings obtained with the tools of noncommutative geometry.
This paper is a greatly expanded version of a talk I gave in April 2009 at KunenFest. It describes Ken's work in algebra, particularly using automated deduction tools.
The authors provide a survey of certain aspects of their joint work with the late M. K. Vamanamurthy. Most of the results are simple to state and deal with special functions, a topic of research where S. Ramanujan's contributions are…
This article explains basic constructions and results on group algebras and their cohomology, starting from the point of view of commutative algebra. It provides the background necessary for a novice in this subject to begin reading Dave…
The present article studies combinatorial tilings of Euclidean or spherical spaces by polytopes, serving two main purposes: first, to survey some of the main developments in combinatorial space tiling; and second, to highlight some new and…
Some of Philippe Flajolet's combinatorial contributions that he wrote between 1976 and 1995, say, are described. In most of Flajolet's papers, asymptotic/analytic considerations play a major role. To be true to the spirit of the journal…
The paper is devoted to a somewhat idiosyncratic account of the theorem of de Bruijn-Erd\"{o}s and Hanani from the combinatorics of finite geometries and its various proofs. Among the proofs discussed are the original proofs by de…
